If there’s one man in the PBA who embodies the “Never Say Die” spirit of Robert Jaworski, it’s Barangay Ginebra San Miguel superstar Mark Caguioa.

 

The reigning PBA Most Valuable Player is known for his big heart, and on Sunday, he took a page out of the Living Legend’s storybook in leading Ginebra to victory over league-leading Talk ‘N Text.

 

Caguioa was bloodied in the first quarter of the game after his protective glasses were elbowed accidentally by Talk ‘N Text slotman Ali Peek.

 

“Pumutok yung upper portion ng kaliwang mata niya,” said a paramedic who attended to Caguioa. “Pero OK na siya.”

 

Caguioa returned to the court in the second quarter, and despite a heavily-bandaged left eye, led Ginebra to victory with 22 points and 11 rebounds. He said he wasn’t affected by the cut, but said he feared a more serious injury. He suffered a fractured eye socket last season that require him to wear those protective glasses.

 

“Kinabahan ako kasi the last time nangyari sa akin ‘to, nag-doble yung paningin ko. This time, nag-blur siya,” said Caguioa.

 

The performance shares parallels to one of the most famous legends in Jaworski’s lore, when the former Ginebra playing-coach led the squad to comeback victory over a powerhouse Northern Consolidated Cement national team after getting stitches in his mouth. Jaworski had earlier left the game after getting busted open by an elbow from NCC’s naturalized center Jeff Moore.

 

That game has since gone on to become part of the Ginebra canon, sealing the franchise’s claim to the “Never Say Die” tag.

 

On Sunday, Caguioa proved, with his big heart, that the spirit is alive and well.

Well written... a perfect description.

Asi is a free agent in the pba he can sign with anyone if he wants to he was offered a two year contract plus a slot in the coaching staff in meralco, but he rejected it and took the san miguel offer a 3 year contract

Nope sir. Meralco still owns the right for Asi as aannounced by the Commisione..

sabi ni MC ok daw mas matagal na naglalaro ang mga veterans kc palagay sila sa isat-isa

 

ang hirit nman ni Siot mas gusto pa rin nyang paglaruin yung mga batang players!

[fatchubs]

Kung nakaka-contribute wala namang problema kung paglaruin ang mga "bata" ...

 

Just as kung masama ang nilalaro ng "beterano" wala siyang karapatan na manatili sa court.

 

 

One fine example would be si Espiritu who had a good game against Global Port. He was rewarded by Siot by inserting him sa 1st 5. Si Jensen who has been given lots of opportunities in the past but can't seem to be consistent in his plays was benched.

[RED2018]

I think with Jayjay's 'resurgence', mababawasan ang pagsunog ni LA; and its good for both the point guards. Para kasing laging kayod marino si LA tuwing game nila. With Tnt kagabi, LA was confident enough to let Jayjay alternate the orchestrations chores kapag sabay sila on the floor. Having said that, hindi masyadong masusunog si LA; while Jayjay will have his confidence back. (pwedeng pwede pa talaga ang mama)

GInebra won: 93-87. Mahina talaga si coach. There was a near turnover by Ginebra during the dying seconds with Ginebra up by three. Undecided ang referee, nag review. Tinawag kaagad ni Norman Black ang mga players niya for that "free timeout" hanggang pinapanood ng referees yung replay. Ano ginawa ni Siot? Nakatunganga, ni walang plays na ginawa during the lull. Oh my!

 

oo nga sir. provided na error na nga and maging TNT possession. nga nga mode sila pagbalik sa depensa.

 

last win nila against global di rin sila tumawag ng timeout nung dying seconds...

[*kalel*]

sino sunod na opponent?

[ray004]

sino sunod na opponent?

 

against Alaska on Nov. 18

[fatchubs]

against Alaska on Nov. 18

 

ang tagal ng pahinga ... baka mawala un "momentum" after 2 consecutive wins.

 

On the other hand this will give time for injuries to heal especially for Maliksi and Kerby.

[Kazekage.Gaara]

Pabor sa BGSM yung pahinga, maiintegrate nila lalo sa mga play si Taha.

[fatchubs]

Maari nga maincorporate si Taha sa plays but personally I think we should not expect too much from him. Defensively he shows "potential" and the heart to compete and bang bodies inside the paint, but medyo limited pa rin ang offensive moves nito.
